Lifting the Veil

Lift the veil in this morass of Sin, That faith may blossom and hope enter in. Let the Sun of Justice shine Upon a people in decline, That looking up from the tyranny of power and things Your face may captivate and solace bring.

Pour down torrents of Thy Grace To cleanse this dry and brutal place , Uproot to plant anew A Day of peace like settled dew, That minds be bright and intellects sublime And our only glory may be Thine.
